"No mystery writer except perhaps Anne Perry is as successful as Charles Finch at evoking the atmosphere of Victorian London." (Washington Post)

From best-selling author Charles Finch comes the third and final in a prequel trilogy to his lauded Charles Lenox series.

London, 1855. A young and eager Charles Lenox faces his toughest case yet: A murder without a single clue. Slumped in a third-class car at Paddington Station is the body of a handsome young gentleman. He has no luggage, empty pockets, and no sign of identification on his person. And putting together the clues to the mystery of the man's identity only raises more questions, when Lenox discovers that the crime has a significant connection to America.

As he seeks to solve this impossible case, the young Lenox must confront an equally troublesome problem in his personal life. Kitty Ashbrook, beautiful and cultured, appears to be his soulmate - but love comes with obstacles of its own. In tandem, this fiendish early case and passionate, deeply felt affair will irrevocably shape the brilliant detective and thoughtful gentleman Lenox is destined to become.

Written in Charles Finch's unmistakably witty and graceful voice, The Last Passenger is a cunning, thrilling, and deeply satisfying conclusion to this trilogy of prequels to his best-selling Charles Lenox series.

Very Enjoyable

Thank you for this prequel to The Lennox series I very much enjoyed these two stories, just wish I would have been able to listen to them in order.

Good embedded history and romance.

History and on-going romance. Characterizations arewell-done and believable. Manners and social customs fit with the Victorian time period.

One of the best in the series

A gentle story, despite being about several murders and the slave trade. It is the kind concern that the characters show each other, the development of the main character, Charles Lennox, and the descriptions of the London of the 1850s which carries the story along. Also, the reader is pitch perfect, a kind and melodious voice, if a bit awkward, much like Charles Lennox himself.

An engaging historical murder mystery

I enjoy the Lennox character and this novel does not disappoint. Also, the historical references are really interesting
